What are NO and MO Pistachios?
As you know, pistachios are both Open and Close after harvesting from the tree.
After the pistachios are dry, a device and a machine separate the Open pistachios (Natural Open or NO) from the Close pistachios. Therefore, they name this device as a separator commonly.
Close mouth pistachio nuts (In-shell Close Pistachios) have two main uses. in fact, there are two main methods of processing these pistachio nuts.
Either these pistachios enter the pistachio kernel production process or they are in use to produce Mechanical Open (MO) pistachios.
Mechanical Open pistachios purchase would be profitable when you know what is this pistachio actually. And when you know the production procedure, obviously you can choose between different qualities.
If we want to explain in more detail; It should be noted that mechanical-open pistachios are open in various mechanical ways.
In short, it can be said that first, the producer of these pistachios should pour Close-Mouth pistachios into a pool of cold water.
This cold water will crack the shell of pistachios. Then they put the product on the dryer.
The temperature of the device is preset to open the mouth of the pistachio enough.
In addition, some types of pistachios, such as Fandoghi and Kalleghouchi, need to be hammered or hit before the cold pool.
In fact, the cold water alone is not enough to make the round-shaped pistachios open.
The outcome pistachio is Mechanical-Open pistachio or the Persian name is ABKHANDAN.

Since American pistachios have a low percentage of kernels inside their shells, Iranian MO pistachios can compete with them for price.

Aflatoxin Free MO Pistachios
One of the questions is whether MO pistachios are suitable for export/import to EU countries that are sensitive to aflatoxin fungi?
To answer this question, we need to have a brief explanation about aflatoxin.
The aflatoxin usually develops and grows when pistachios are harvested and peeled late after harvest.
In other words, the fungus of aflatoxin penetrates the pistachio kernel through its soft and fresh skin.
But this is not the case with Close-Mouth pistachios. In other words, aflatoxin is not able to pass through the hard skin (hard shell) of pistachios.
For this reason, Close-Mouth pistachios are completely permissible regarding aflatoxin level.
But the point to consider is that in order to produce Aflatoxin-free MO pistachios, it is necessary to separate the open-mouth and even slightly-open pistachios from inside the Close-Mouth ones.
Pistachios, on the other hand, should be open in a perfectly hygienic environment.
If you intend to export/import this product, be sure to use the advice of our colleagues in the Artin pistachio trading department.
